Chapter 426: Landing Late at Night

Gan Ning led the Flying Tiger Army to the coast of Qi County after more than ten days of sailing, Ziyue landed in a small boat that night and discussed the action of the army with the red gun, Xu Shu and Pang Tong both said that the situation was favorable to their own side at this time, and they should speed up the dispatch of troops, Xingba also said, let the two go to rest and then convene a group of generals to discuss the matter. The landing of more than 20,000 people is not a trivial matter, and it must be completed and hidden in a very short time, and the preparations must be very meticulous.

"Xuan Lang, I have decided to land tonight, the tide near Qi County must be investigated, and the whole army must be completed before dawn, you can arrange this matter." The man who was called Xuanlang by Xingba was the old brother of Jianghaizhuang in Jingzhou, when he got acquainted with Liu Yi and Zhao Yun, this person was one of the several companions around him, and after more than ten years, he was left among the few people of the day, this person acted competently and was proficient in water affairs, Gan Ning was extremely relieved of him, and he had also accumulated merit to the position of captain over the years, even Liu Yi and Zhao Yun also knew this person's ability.

"The second general can rest assured, after the person who delivered the letter came ashore last night, he will find out the tide situation clearly, and the time is the right time, but it will take two hours to arrange the landing order of each ship in detail, and it will not be properly arranged until after noon." Xuan Lang said when he heard this, Gan Ning was both a commander in the army and an elder brother in the family to him, and of course he also knew his temper very well, and the second general must have thought it through before giving the order, even if there were difficulties, he would try his best to complete it.

"Okay, each ship goes back to the sensing, Gan's army must rest during the day today, and there must be no negligence in acting at night, otherwise the military law is ruthless, first go to prepare for it, and after Xuanlang will consider the details of the landing in detail, he will send it to the ships, and everything should be ready before the time." Gan Ning no longer hesitated when he heard this, and immediately passed down the military order, and all the generals and colonels were also ordered to return to the ship in detail.

It is the night moon high and the clouds are light, the calm sea reflects the sparkling moonlight, only the sound of water is heard in the ears, everything seems to be very quiet, suddenly a black spot appeared on the sea surface in the distance, as it slowly approached the shore, you can gradually see that it is a wooden boat as long as five or six zhang, there will never be such a huge fishing boat in Jizhou, and with the appearance of the first black spot, there are ten such ships behind it to break the waves, it is the dragon ship in the Ganning Flying Tiger Army, The original intention of these warships was to be used as a landing ship for the Flying Tiger Army, and then a little transformation can also be used in the rivers, after all, the painstaking construction of this naval army is not only for the battle of Jizhou, when Cao Mengde unified the north, ambitiously led nearly a million troops to the south, but in the red cliff halberd sinking sand, the achievement of Zhou Lang through the ages, since then his life has never seen the opportunity for reunification, the great hero's ambition has not been rewarded, which makes future generations sigh. In addition to the proper use of the tactics of the Sun-Liu coalition army and Cao Cao's own mistakes, the lack of precision of the naval army is the biggest reason, and now in this time and space, Liu Yi is walking the same trajectory as Cao Cao at that time, and naturally does not want to have such regrets.

With the appearance of the Jiaolong ship, the fires on the shore also increased like starlight, and during the day, Zi Yue went and returned, and passed to the red gun Gan Ning's military order to land tonight, although the time was urgent, but he did things without leakage, and the reception, guide, including the camp camp after the Flying Tiger Army went ashore, it can also be seen that once Tian'er went all out, the energy was quite amazing, and the coordination ability of the red gun was even more impeccable.

The first Jiaolong ship was helmed by Li Fengzhu, Xuan Lang personally stood on the bow of the ship to carefully distinguish the direction and the speed of the current, and walked towards the place where the fire on the shore was lit for a distance, and then the hull sank slightly, Xuan Lang immediately raised his hand to stop the hull from moving forward, and further forward, with the size and weight of this ship, there would be a danger of running aground. After making this action, he did not hesitate to jump into the sea, and poked his head out in the middle of the morning, which was only forty or fifty zhang away from the shore, and the water depth was about one zhang.

"Listen to my orders, and the whole ship will be launched and disembarked." Xuan Lang in the water ordered, and the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army on the Jiaolong ship also jumped into the sea without hesitation in the previous order, swimming to the shore with their hands and feet, in addition to weapons, clothes and armor and other things on each person's body were wrapped in a closed deerskin, and the first thing after landing on the shore was to wipe their bodies and change into new clothes in the deerskin! I don't know how many times this set of steps has been practiced on the beach in Fangshan.

In addition to the Jiaolong ship in the front, there is a figure similar to Xuan Lang in the bow of each ship behind, the ship stopped in their instructions, and the soldiers also began to swim across, the first batch of Jiaolong ships to reach the coast had a total of twenty, transporting two thousand flying tiger soldiers, a short distance of fifty zhang, and there were not too many waves The skilled soldiers began to land in a short time, and there will be a special person on the shore to lead them to the fire.

At this time, the scene next to dozens of fires on the coast is very peculiar, dozens of soldiers around a fire quickly take off their wet clothes, dry their bodies with white cloths, and then quickly take out dry clothes and armor from the deerskin to change, and then wrap the wet clothes into the deerskin, which is quite similar to the celestial bathing of those famous beaches in later generations, but there are no women here, and the action of changing clothes is also very skillful, they are not here to relax on the beach.

The person who responds keeps shuttling among the soldiers who change clothes, and after they change, they will send a bamboo tube, which is a steaming ginger soup, at this time it is the late autumn season, and if you don't pay attention to these details, it is very easy to be infected with wind and cold, and as a lone army deep behind the enemy, the most afraid is non-combat attrition, so the previous preparations Gan Ning explained very carefully, judging from the only orderly scene now, the logistics task of the red gun is also excellent.

After changing their clothes and armor, the soldiers drank a few sips of ginger soup and checked the number of people under the leadership of the captain, and after confirming that it was correct, there was a person who answered them to lead them to the camping place in the forest, and at this time, the Jiaolong ships on the shore turned around and headed towards the open sea, they were going to meet the next batch of soldiers who landed on the shore, after Xuan Lang's calculations, such a round-trip Jiaolong ship would take ten trips, in addition to the combat soldiers who landed, the transportation of baggage would also occupy nearly half of the time.

"Yuan Zhi, Shi Yuan, both of you are closely following someone, don't act rashly." Gan Ning, as the main general, followed the second batch of soldiers to the coast, and after the ship was stable, he also said to Xu Shu and Pang Tong, Yuan Zhi is a person who practices martial arts, and Pang Tong is much worse, but when it comes to water quality, these two people are extremely important.

The two of them bowed slightly when they heard this, and jumped into the sea with Xingba, not to mention that the name of Jinfan resounded in the waterway of the Yangtze River, Gan Ning was a living dragon when he got to the water, and he held the arms of the two with both hands and paddled with his feet alone compared to the average soldier but not half behind, Liu Yi said that day, if they fought on land, the three brothers would be inseparable, but if they were in the water, he and Zhao Yun would never be Xingba's opponent when they were tied together, and they should know that Lang Sheng's water nature is also extremely watery, and he can still have such words, It shows that Gan Ning's kung fu in the water has reached the peak of perfection.

"Everything in the army is under power, the two of you are quick to get off, and if you are late, you can be big or small." Xu Pang and the others are both scribes, and it is still a little embarrassing to let them change their clothes in public with the Flying Tiger sergeant, at this time Gan Ning's tone is not so polite, urging one after another, and even having the intention of helping, the two of them have no choice but to quickly take off their clothes, and the whole process is inevitably chilling, but after putting on dry clothes and drinking a few sips of ginger soup, it is much better.

The soldiers who landed on the shore were still led to the camp in the forest under the leadership of the person who responded, and Gan Ning had to stay where he was and wait for all the soldiers and supplies to land before he could go, he shuttled among the soldiers from time to time to remind them that they must dry their bodies and then change their dry clothes, and his eyes were also concerned about the soldiers swimming in the sea.

The turn of the ugly time is the time when ordinary people sleep in their dreams, but on this coast near Qi County, it is a hot scene, but everything is orderly and there is not too much noise!
